Midwestwife - That's a good idea, keeping a journal. I'm going to start one tomorrow.

David2 - I don't know what a PEG is so I don't think I am getting that. I assume they have checked my thyroid levels.

PaulB - I'm going to look into that support group. I won't be wearing any lotions or fragrances when I start except maybe a little coconut oil on my legs and arms to prevent dry skin.

I woke up today with a bad cold!!! frown Will they delay start? Should I ask?
